Hi Eric and thanks for your fast reply!

I have a 64-Built but i copied the wrong trial and error ./configure 
snippet (i have the messy habbit documenting all my trials ;d

./configure CFLAGS="-Os" --prefix=/opt/wine --disable-win16 --without-x 
--disable-tests --without-freetype --without-gstreamer --without-openal 
--without-gettext --without-ldap --without-vkd3d --without-netapi 
--without-oss --without-opencl --without-pulse --without-usb 
--without-pcap --without-vulkan --without-sane --without-sdl 
--without-cups --without-krb5 --without-gphoto --without-capi 
--without-fontconfig --without-udev --without-dbus --without-mingw 
--without-gnutls --without-opengl --enable-win64
make -j 4 && make install

This is the correct one, so this works for me

As you can see, i allready used the the --disable-mode switch for 
example: --disable-tests OR --disable_win16

But still, it results in this 700 MByte Monster in /opt/wine

By the way, i had a hard time finding all the configure switches and i 
wasn't abel to find more.
Is there a Document or Wiki which documents all possible make swithces? 
Are there anymore then

--disable-win16
--disable-tests

?

If i cannot find any more ways to shrink this beast down to a resonble 
size, i will check dependencies and delete unused DLL's but this is 
something i dont want to do, bc i fear stuff will
break in unpredicable ways.

Again, thanks for your help!

Kind regards from Germany,
Dravion
